Thanks guys. I think I got out of this one easy. Opened all my parts up ready to replace lines fittings and gauges. Drained oil to change it, saw no issues with what came out, then pulled the male male fitting off the oil sending unit and this is what I saw Well there's your problem...

Yeah trust me the gears are turning in my head. But I really don't want to get ahead of myself here. I will know tomorrow whether there is any major issue beyond the gauge. Picked up oil and a filter today as well. Will get all that knocked out tomorrow and see where it gets me.

Thanks! And yeah the truck should be good for a while. Just put a new tonneau cover on it. Thinking the clutch is about to give out (can hear it, and also it's leaking from somewhere) but that's okay. Otherwise it's good. I put new shocks all around, fixed an oil leak, replaced the rotted...

Phew, been a crazy few months here. I'm married and back. Took the truck for a ride the other day up to virginia City and my oil pressure gauge (mechanical) was showing 0 PSI at idle and like 35PSI at 65mph. Something is going on because this has always had good oil pressure (50 on the highway...

I had a moment today. Well, a several hour moment. Maybe its because this is still the "honeymoon stage" and I am new to Reno, but good god I love it here. The fiance is off to Vegas for her bridal shower. She flew out Thursday night. So today I woke up, walked the dog, and decided I would go...

On that front, no I have no updates. I haven't been driving the rig too too much, as I have had some other big changes in my life. I do plan to get on the fuel injection sooner than later but up first are a few things on my new to me truck to make sure it's good to go for a while. More about...

The AC has never bothered me too much but it would certainly be nice to have. Shouldn't take much to get it operational but in situations like that where it's hot and I'm towing I likely wouldn't be able to run it anyway without the truck running even more hot. It was beautiful at night. Kept...

Meh I ain't worried about it, I'll get it figured sooner or later. Fuel injection is one of. Next major projects.

Well, we had been invited to go camping with my buddy's family on their yearly trip out to Lake Havasu. Friday FINALLY came. I hooked up the camper at about 2:30pm and left the office. Picked up my buddy (the women folks were going to drive out after work) and hit the road. Driving through a...

Hey good advice, that makes total sense about the washboarding. Never thought about it really. Also I'll have to go check out deeper into the hills sometime for sure.

Was out toolin' around the desert today seeing how things are running. Planning a little camping trip to Havasu in a few weeks. Next weekend I will be working on a few items on the camper. CHECK OUT MY MAD FLEX BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol

Heep: Heading back down the way we came. Girl took a few pics of me moving through some of the washed out spots. Yeah didnt use 4wd and started spinnin' a lil here. I'm way too lazy to get out and lock my hubs. whatever. check out my MAD FLEX YO!!!!!!!!!!! More desert. Parked and...

Finally got the idle dialed in after a bunch of days of it running kinda weird (now it idles so smooth and quiet at just about 550-600 rpm in gear i feel like it's gonna die because i cant hear or feel it haha) So, I was bored today, wanted to go on a hike in red rock but its too dang far...

Well, i got it aligned this weekend, one wheel is out of spec on camber (.6* positive and spec is 1.0-2.0) so its slightly positive, but not positive enough. I doubt It's worth installing a shim for, and there's no way that being .4* short of proper positive camber would cause wear on the...

Thanks. I appreciate the kind words and encouragement. Lately I havent been doing much, I need to get back on leak patrol, but also need to do some work on the camper because I think I'll be dragging it out to Havasu in a few weeks. Funny how **** breaks when you aren't even using it. the...

In. Trying to cut back on beer, so spent beer money on raffle ticket. Win win! Unless I actually do win, then it's a win win win!

i want a cabin! and a willys!

It IS low, but there's more going on than people understand. We aren't sucking it dry like a lot of people think. We are a reservoir on the colorado river system, and we are a low priority reservoir who's job involves keeping others full. Lake Powell is full to the brim, lake Mojave is full to...

I have no idea when the secondaries open. Vacuum controled and I can't tell when they kick in because its seamless. I would assume that when headed up the mountain under heavy load vacuum would pull open the butterfly valves and is be running 4 barrels but again I have never tested to see if...

Pretty sure it's not vapor lock in any way shape or form. I have an electric fuel pump to that's one big thing that helps. Also I have routed the gas lines up the firewall away from any heat sources. On this trip when I started having issues I pulled over. I put my hand on the (secondary)...
